I know. I don't know why I thought that. But I still stand by Cold Mountain.

He didnt direct House of Mirth

The Talented Mr. Ripley and I own the DVD. I watch it over and over.
I own the DVDs for Cold Mountain and The House if Mirth. I don't care much for either of them. I just watched Cold Mountain and will not again. It is relentlessly depressing and Nicole is horribly miscast. Her perfect obvious makeup and prissy clothing ruined the film. She is too tall too. She looked like she was cut and pasted from Molin Rouge.
House of Mirth was stiff and stilted. He had the women smoking which I don't think they did in those days. He just thought women looked sensual smoking. That is a personal touch that was self indulgent.

1. The English Patient (Masterpiece!)
2. The Talented Mr. Ripley (Great adaptation!)
3. Cold Mountain (Good in many 2000aspects, but could have been better)
4. Breaking and Entering (A decent little film)

   have to see the rest.

I agree. The English Patient is my all-time favorite. Listening to the soundtrack now. I've watched it many times.

The English Patient is my favourite. Very moving, superbly directed and beautifully shot movie, and in my mind gets a lot of undeserved backlash. I like/love all of Anthony Minghella's work, not just English Patient and The Talented Mr Ripley but also on the three Inspector Morse episodes he helped write. Very talented writer/director, words cannot describe how genuinely saddened I was at his death.

1. The English Patient: Anthony Minghella's masterpiece, an endlessly beautiful and powerful film, poetry in motion and sound, his gift to us film lovers (as you can see I'm quite a fan of this film)
2. The Talented Mr. Ripley
3. Cold Mountain
4. Breaking and Entering
   It's not the years, honey, it's the mileage.
   Indiana Jones, "Raiders of the Lost Ark"

I have seen only 5 of his films, so these are how I would list them:
Cold Mountain (I cannot help crying every time I see this movie)
The Talented Mr Ripley
Breaking and Entering
Truly, Madly, Deeply
The English Patient
and yes, I'm a huge Jude Law fan, that's why I got to know Minghella's work.

I've always had a soft spot for 'Living with Dinosaurs', and no one else is going to mention it

• Truly, Madly, Deeply
• The English Patient
• Cold Mountain

COLD MOUNTAIN
THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY
THE ENGLISH PATIENT
THREE OF THEM ARE IN MY FAVORITE MOVIE LIST.

1. The Talented Mr. Ripley - ****
2. The English Patient - ****
3. Cold Mountain - ***
4. Breaking and Entering - **
   Need to rewatch Mr. Wonderful and see all of Truly Madly Deeply

I loved this film from the first time I saw it. It's as underrated a love
story as "Ghost," with a similar premise, is overrated. One of the best
romantic movies of the past twenty years!
R.I.P., Mr. Minghella.
I'm not crying, you fool, I'm laughing!

dolores craeg

I like The English Patient, Cold Mountain, Breaking and Entering
but THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY is my #1 favourite.
I never get bored to watch it over and over again, especially the scene with Tom-Dickie.
great cast and acting (they're oscar nominees and winners now!), interesting plot, beautiful scenes/picture, incredible music.
I won't forget the song "Tu Vuo' Fa' L'Americano" performed by Jude and Matt.

Breaking and Entering

The January man . just to be awkward lol
"I'm as mad as hell and i'm not gonna take this anymore" !!

1. The English patient. My all-time favourite. Nothing beats this movie. It has everything.
2. Cold Mountain. Also a very good movie.
3. The talented Mr. Riply. I think I have to re-watch this, there have been too many years since I saw it, so I don't really remember it.
   Braking and entering was really disapoynting. Compared to the other movies, this is nothing. You could allways watch it, but don't excpect too much.

In order, for me:
1.Truly Madly Deeply
2.Cold Mountain
3.The English Patient
4.The Talented Mr.Ripley
5.Breaking and Entering
6.Mr.Wonderful
"Mr.Wonderful" is the weakest, I think in large part because it wasn't Anthony Minghella's own script.
I think(in contrast to some other people on this board)that he is an excellant filmmaker, wonderfully sensitive and intelligent about the intricacies of human relationships.
I tried to dance to Britney Spears/I guess I'm getting on in years

The English Patient, followed by The Talented Mr. Ripley
I wasn't a big fan of Cold Mountain.
